Jungkook had originally intended to go out to eat lunch when he just happened to see the brief scene with Lisa's high school classmates. At this moment, it was already time for the first shift of employees to have lunch. When he saw Lisa carry her lunch box and walk towards the staff dining hall, he also felt too lazy to go outside and headed directly to the staff dining hall instead.
People were sitting in twos and threes in the dining hall. As soon as Lisa found an empty seat to sit down, she opened her super-insulated, three-layered lunchbox. Even though several hours had already passed, the food inside was still piping hot.
Jungkook saw where she was sitting and picked up a tray before heading to the canteen window. Today, the dining hall was serving stewed beef and potatoes. The auntie working at the canteen saw that Director J had come to her dining hall to eat and gave him extra beef.
It was nearly impossible to see the potatoes.
Jungkook thanked the dining hall auntie and carried his tray to sit opposite Lisa. She, slightly surprised, raised her head.
After seeing him, she was even more surprised.
Ke-ke- She covered her mouth and coughed lightly. She nearly didn't stand up. "Director J."
Jungkook looked at her and chuckled. "I simply came over to eat lunch. There's no need to be so nervous."
"Oh, mn..." Although Lisa's mouth made a sound of agreement, her heart was still somewhat uncomfortable.
Jungkook, on the other hand, was rather normal; he even inspected her lunchbox. "Do you normally bring your food to eat?"
She nodded. "Yes."
"Is the dining hall food not tasty?"
"No, no."
If Director J believed that the dining hall food was of questionable quality, then the uncles and aunts working in the dining hall might not allow her to enter the hall in the future.
"In terms of the staff's meals, the quality can already be considered good. I merely have picky tastes, that's all."
"So it's like this." Jungkook was still studying her lunch: and. "You cooked this yourself?"
"Mhmm."
"You got up early to make this?"
"Mn, I generally get up very early in the morning. I began stewing the pork soup last night; it was ready by this morning. If I have an evening shift, I would have cooked in the afternoon."
Jungkook chuckled. "I couldn't tell that you were this virtuous."
Lisa thought for a moment. Justin seemed to have said the same thing.
"Because I dress very fashionably, I don't look like I'm someone who can cook?"
Jungkook bowed his head and smiled. "Has there been anyone else who said this to you?
Lisa shrugged. "No one."
Jungkook said, "Your meal aesthetically looks good, but I don't know whether it also tastes good."
The corners of his lips curved into a slight smile. He looked at her. "Do you mind if I taste a bit?"
When several colleagues sit together and eat, they would inevitably taste each other's meal. Since Lisa always brought her food, many female colleagues had tasted her cooking already.
But Jungkook wasn't a female colleague. Theoretically, she should mind very much, but he was sitting across from her and had been chatting with her for a very long time. She actually... didn't feel as disagreeable as she had expected.
She picked up a clean spoon and scooped a piece of pork chop onto his plate.
This time, she pondered, A man who looks attractive and has a pleasant voice really can receive extra care from the world.
"Thank you."
Jungkook picked up the pork chop and tried it. He raised an eyebrow at Lisa.
"Your skills are pretty good. It seems that I need to change this notion that a 'beautiful woman can't cook.'"
After Lisa heard him say this, she automatically retorted, "Who said that beautiful women can't cook?"
"I..." Jungkok suddenly stopped speaking. He looked down and faintly stuck out his lower lip. "No one."
Lisa thought it was somewhat strange, but she didn't pry. He very quickly returned to normal and smiled at her. He said,
"In fact, my culinary skills are also very good. If there's a chance, I'll let you have a taste."
Lisa looked at him in surprise and courteously thanked him.
Jungkook asked, "What shift do you have tomorrow?"
"Still morning shift."
"Then let me treat you to lunch tomorrow. Consider it payment for this pork chop."
Lisa hastily said, "No need. You're too polite."
He replied, "You're the one that doesn't need to be so polite. I have treated all my staff at Fantasy Wardrobe."
Is that true?
Lisa wasn't convinced.
Jungkook smiled at her. "At the end of the year, the company is quite busy. You have been here for so long, yet I still haven't treated you to a meal. I'll make it up tomorrow."
"You really don't need to..."
"Except for you, I have treated the rest of my staff. The others are all still under the impression that I have something against you."
"Oh..."
"Then it's a deal."
......
As Lisa carried her lunchbox back to Fantasy Wardrobe, she was still pondering this matter. A colleague saw her returning with creased brows and walked up to her to ask, "What's wrong?"
"Ah..." She thought for a moment before asking, "That is, has Director J treated you to a meal before?"
The colleague nodded and said, "He has invited me. When Fantasy Wardrobe was just established, he treated all the staff to a meal."
"Then what about new employees coming in after?"
"He also treated them. I was one of them."
"Oh..." Lisa felt relieved upon hearing her reply.
"Come on, come on, let's go eat."
A colleague came up to draw away the person Lisa was talking to towards the dining hall. "What were you two talking about?"
"Lisa asked if Director J had treated me to a meal."
"Oh, you came later so you didn't eat with all of us. What did Director J treat you to?"
"He let me choose, and after we finished eating, he paid the bill."
They were walking too far away for Lisa to hear the rest of their conversation.
In her coat pocket, her phone vibrated. She fished it out and glanced at it. Jennie had sent a WeChat text.
「Very good. At lunch today, my mom arranged another blind date for me.」
Lisa thought for a moment and then sent her a reply.
「If you really don't want to, then don't go. Every time you go, you complain endlessly.」
Jennie: 「 I can't do anything about it. I'm already thirty. Actually, I am very worried as well.『covers face』」
Lisa: 「This problem you can't rush even if you want to.」
Jennie: 「I need a boyfriend to fill the hollowness in my life『covers face』」
Lisa: 「Hollowness? Then you should play games.」
Jennie: 「............」
Jennie: 「Is this the reason why you play games?」
Lisa: 「No, my hollowness is filled by money :)」
(A/N: Drop some money. Dropping all my money. 💲💸 Lisa is really obsessed with money here.)
Jennie: 「『goodbye』」
Jennie: 「I'm heading off to the battlefield. After a while, I'll give you a live relay.」
Lisa laughed and placed her phone into her bag.
Unexpectedly, Jennie really did give her a live relay of her date. In ten to twenty minute intervals, the phone in her bag would vibrate once.
Lisa sent off another wave of clients before she had the time to take out her phone and glance at it.
Jennie: 「I really wonder what kind of view my mom has of me『smile』」
Jennie: 「Last time, the blind date thought I didn't like him because he was poor right? He must have complained to the people who arrange this stuff. This time, I'm introduced to an upstart.『smile』」
Jennie: 「He already bragged from his family's seaside villa to his private airfield.『goodbye』」
Jennie: 「Do you know what I'm currently thinking? I especially want to transform into the set pair of sandals and to beat him up.『 smile 』」
Pfff. Lisa couldn't help but laugh when she read this. Just as she thought of sending Jennie a message to comfort her, her phone vibrated once again.
「Erase that. Can you guess who I just saw? That friend of Master Jeon!」
***
Today, Taehyung was also forced out of his home to go on a blind date. He really didn't understand why; he was only 29 and was extremely handsomee.
Furthermore, he also had the Kim family as a powerful backer. So why was he still forced to go on a blind date?? Could he even be unable to marry a wife?
Hehe!
Jennie had been intentionally glancing over in his direction since he had come in. He was sitting across from a beautiful woman whose temperament was outstanding, but she appeared to be high-maintenance.
She quickly understood this type of situation she was seeing as someone who had personally experienced it--this guy had also come for a blind date.
Originally, this restaurant was the holy land of blind dates. Here, men and women sat together--out of the ten pairs inside, roughly five were blind dates. But wasn't he...a gay guy? Not only did he already have a committed relationship with Director J, but he had also even said that he liked Director J the most!
Ai, indeed, every family had their own set of classic problems. He was obviously a gay guy, but he was pressured on all sides and had to go on a blind date with a woman. He also must not have it easy.
"Miss Kim, are you listening to me?" The upstart sitting opposite Jennie asked her.
Jennje returned to reality. She smiled at him, saying, "What were you talking about just now? Your family's aeroplane or your family's Gundam?"
At this moment, Taehyung finally took note of Jennie sitting to the side. He had felt that this woman looked somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment, he finally recalled that she was the woman who was with Lisa that day.
...Wasn't she a lesbian? Why was she also on a blind date?
(A/N: Lol. I can't anymore 🤧)
He glanced at the man sitting across from Jennie and shook his head. This quality--if he were a woman, he would rather choose Lisa.
The eldest daughter of an affluent family sitting opposite him chattered on and on about what would happen after marriage.
After some consideration, Taehyung suddenly stood up and walked toward Jennie's direction. "Hello, do you remember me?"
Jennie didn't expect for him to come up and talk to her, but this was like grabbing a life-saving rice straw. She nodded quickly. "I remember."
Taehyung smiled at her. "I didn't expect to see you here as well. We have indeed been brought together by fate."
"Yes."
"Taehyhng, what's going on with you?" Miss High and Mighty, Taehyung's blind date, walked next to him and sized Jennie up. "Do you know this auntie?"
...Auntie?
Jennie laughed gently. If she could transform into the set pair of and right now, she would definitely beat up this woman. "Who is your auntie? Call me daddy."
Miss High and Mighty: "..."
Taehyung, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh. Before the two women could create a disturbance, he interjected,
"This is my friend whom I haven't seen for quite a while. Today is a rare encounter, so I won't accompany you any longer. You can enjoy your meal--this will be on me."
Jennie immediately followed, climbing up the pole. She also said to her blind date, "Right. I will also leave you first. How about you and this young lady share a table? I think she will definitely be interested in your family's Gundam."
Taehyung chuckled once more before pulling Jennie out of the restaurant.
His and Jennie's cars were parked outside. The two of them walked to their cars before stopping at the same time. Taehyung thought for a moment before saying to Jennie, "How about we try and find someplace nearby to eat?"
